    Little Monsters of Park Slope

    "They walked up to the counter, barked and snapped at the pizza guys, demanding food and sodas. I asked one of them "Do you not say 'please' and 'thank you' to the people who are working hard here? Are these words not in your vocabulary?" She stared back at me and said "NO!" "

    "I finished my pizza and left. As I was going out one of these delightful girls yelled at the top of her lungs "'Please' and 'thank you' my a*s!!. B*TCH!!!" "

    "Thank you, Park Slope parents, for creating these little monsters! After 25 years in the neighborhood I'm considering leaving for someplace more civilized."

    Looks like somebody has threatened the moderators of the Park Slope Parents Yahoo Group with a lawsuit related to something that a member posted.

    They have shut down the Message Archives until further notice, and are seeking an "expert in Internet law" to help:

    "The PSP Moderators and Advisory Committee have already spent hundreds of hours trying to resolve this situation. It is important that we resolve this quickly and with integrity -- if we do not, the entire PSP list may be in jeopardy and may have to be closed down entirely..."

    Park Slope Parents: "Do You Want Your Child to Be Uncomfortable or Dead?"

    In the New York Times: "For more than a decade, doctors have advocated putting babies to bed on their backs as a precaution against sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS... however, some new parents are finding that the benefits of having babies sleep soundly - more likely when they sleep on their stomachs - outweigh the comparatively tiny risk of SIDS."

    "'Do you want your child to be uncomfortable or dead?' asked Vanessa Saft, the mother of a 2-year-old, Ramona, and an early childhood educator ... Ms. Saft said she was baffled by some of the permissive discussions she read on the e-mail list of the Park Slope Parents, where Brooklynites share their advice on vaccinations, sippy cups, schools, nannies and, also, sleeping.

    "But Ms. Saft said she refrained from chiming in with an unpopular viewpoint, even one in line with the medical mainstream, because, 'I always get in trouble.'"

    Naked Woman Deemed Inappropriate for Kids

    flashdancers-news101905029.jpgFrom the New York Post: "Brooklyn parents, who were hot and bothered by a billboard featuring a naked blonde across the street from an elementary school, have won their fight to have the sign taken down. A spokesman for FlashDancers, a Manhattan 'gentlemen's club,' said the billboard across from PS 133 in Park Slope would be removed..."

    "He blamed society for a double-standard on adult material: 'That sign is less risqué than the ads on city busses.'"

    "... the stiletto-wearing woman ... offers a come-hither look as she stares down at kids in the school playground."

    Councilman David Yassky ... called it 'totally inappropriate' ..."

    "'Wow, look at the hot lady,' said one 9-year-old boy..."

    A Warning to the Baby-Phobic

    CowCatcher-m.jpgIt all started innocently enough, with Carnivore suggesting that aggressive baby-pushers install "cow catchers" on the front of their monster-strollers before they begin plowing down 7th Avenue.

    This suggestion was somewhat controversial.

    German Parents in Park Slope?

    austrian-flag.jpgElisabeth writes in the Park Slope Message Boards: "I'm Austrian, and I have a son who is 6 months old. I would like to find a German mom's group to meet other moms. Maybe anyone can help me?"

    Answer: You came to the right neighborhood. There is a German parents' group on Yahoo! Groups. Go to http://www.yahoogroups.com and search for BrooklynEltern. Many of those parents live around Park Slope/Prospect Heights. There are a number of parents with kids that age!
